Tiny art journals and micro journaling has really taken off this year.  I got this tiny tn (travelers notebook) from the UKPA Big Meet in January and wasn't sure how to use it.  I then saw a lot of people were using theirs for art journaling and mixed media, so of course I had to join in. 

​I have loved creating collage and watercolour art journal pages in this.  It is much simpler than using a large journal as it is much less intimidating.  I never struggle with what to put on the page, I just get out my supplies and create.  I can whip up a journal page in less than 10 minutes.

Below is a flip through of my fully completed micro tn.  I had so much fun using this, that I now have started 2 more!

Hard work does indeed reap rewards, I had a great year last year and wanted to incorporate working hard and rewarding myself into both my journaling and my Word of the Year for 2019.  Last year I focused on the word 'Happy' and it was a great success.  You can see more on last years word here Word of the Year 2018.

Self Care is so important, if you don't look after yourself then you will struggle in other aspects of your life.  I love adding a bit of self love into my journaling as you can see from my self care and mood tracking journaling pages.
Self Care and Mood Tracking ideas in your Bullet Journal.

This years pages are an extension of this idea, but with the added notion of working hard to receive it.

Hi all, today I am sharing an art journal page I created using Daniel Smith Watercolours, complete with a process video.

If you haven't tried the Daniel Smith Watercolour paints, then I highly recommend that you do. Wow they are amazing, so pigmented and you only need a tiny morsel to bring your art journal page to life. In this post I have created an art journal page using just two of the paints: Phthalo Turquoise and Opera Pink. You can buy the watercolours in ready made hand poured half pans from Little Rainbow Moon's Etsy Shop. See the direct link to the paints here.

​Catch the whole process below in the video... don't forget to leave me a thumbs up and a comment on You Tube.
